Next week we'll announce PoE 3.5.0, our largest expansion this year. Ever since the start of PoE's development, we planned to add support for players to pay for the creation of a private league for them and their friends to play in. We're pleased to announce that we will start making these Private Leagues available for purchase next week.

As players get deeper and deeper into the Azurite Mine, some further adjustments have become necessary. We expect to deploy these changes this week, when we next restart the realm. The team has written a Development Manifesto to outline the details of these changes. Read More.

Crafting has always been one of the main aspects of Path of Exile. PoE loves seeing the powerful and crazy items that our players craft in the game, so they would really like to see how well you can craft in real life! PoE is launching a Craft Competition themed around Path of Exile content!

Some feedback that came up over the weekend was that players would like Delve upgrades purchased on one character to be available to all other characters they have in that League.Today PoE wants to talk about the improvements to Delve that they have planned for the very near future.

In the Delve expansion, we'll be making numerous changes to PoE's game balance. You'll find out the full details of the expansion in the patch notes alongside the Item Filter and Passive Tree Data you'll need to start planning your builds and guides. In the meantime, the team have outlined in this development manifesto the big balance changes to expect.

In Path of Exile: Delve we're making some improvements to Zana's quests and also introducing a new feature on the Atlas called Shaper's Strongholds that create a more powerful Shaper influence. Read More.

Alongside the Delve League, PoE is introducing graphical enhancements that significantly improve how Path of Exile looks. There are two main rendering algorithms that they've implemented to achieve this: screen space point light shadows and screen space global illumination. Check out this video to see how it looks!

After Path of Exile Delve announcement at the end of last week, there was much community discussion about many aspects of the league and its mechanics. They've collected some of the key talking points to explain further in today's news.

At the end of last week, we announced our upcoming expansion Path of Exile: Delve. Alongside this update, we're also introducing several graphical improvements which include an update to our water technology to make it flow more realistically around environment objects. While we expect further improvements to come, we wanted to share a preview of what this looks like in the meantime. Check out the video! Read More.

Path of Exile is proud to announce Path of Exile: Delve! Explore the infinitely deep Azurite Mine's depths to extract treasure and discover its subterranean secrets. This expansion features an infinite dungeon and socketable currency items, as well as a bunch of new unique items, skill gems, balance changes, graphics engine improvements and more!

PoE is a week away from the announcement of our next expansion and challenge league. If you're as excited as they are and already counting down the days until next Friday, the upcoming Incursion Flashback Events will help you to pass the remaining days until the announcement! The Incursion Flashback Events will run from Aug 04 until 28.

Tomorrow (Tuesday NZST) Path of Exile is planning to deploy the 3.3.1c update that includes a minor improvement to the Tormented Spirit room and various bug fixes. In the meantime, they've prepared the full patch notes to keep you informed.

This weekend Path of Exile is holding a sale for all the microtransactions from the popular Sin and Innocence Mystery Box. Now is a perfect time to get the community-favourites like the Sin and Innocence Armour Set and Wings at discounted prices!

While players are enjoying the Incursion League, Grinding Gear Games is hard at work on what's coming next! Today's news post is a check-in regarding what's happening in the near future in Path of Exile.
